The Ikeja Electric, IE, has disclosed why some communities in Lagos State are currently not enjoying power supply.

The IE attributed the current power outage to heavy rainfall which has destroyed its equipment.

Head of Corporate Communications, IE, Felix Ofulue, made this known on Tuesday, saying night rainfall affected its operations, leading to blackout.

‎In a statement made available to newsmen in the state, Ofulue said, “Ikeja Electric wishes to inform you that the current outage is due to the destruction of our Abule Tailor 33kv line , Ipaja 11kv line and Amikanle 11kv line by the heavy rain on Monday night.

“Kindly bear with us as we will find lasting solutions to this.

“IE highly regrets any inconveniences caused by this outage,” he added.

“Power supply to the affected areas would be restored shortly as maintenance teams are already effecting repairs.”

Recall that the management had announced a planned one-month interruption in power supply to some areas within its network effective from March 6 to April 4 to carry out some maintenance of the affected facilities.
